In fact, last year while I was getting my Master's in a highly respected college here in the Bay State I was astounded at how different the college student forum was politically from when I took my Bachelor's a decade plus earlier.
There is no small shortage of up and coming bigots... I've seen them. They're out there and I don't feel any great sense of hope.
